Took a little longer, but finally finished that Mirage! Trying out a few new things this time around, but yeah gonna be a while before I attempt him again;c;
this is Not a scheduled post, i just want to let you know that i did, in fact, love this movie A Lot
Despite all the suffering, there is good news from Ghazzah: my friend Mohammed is engaged! I have been trying to help fundraise for Mohammed and his brother Yazan who are the sole providers for their entire family, and now the family of Mohammed's fiancee. He affectionately calls me 'mom' and asked for my blessing and support; of course I am so, so happy for him.
But food, medicine, water, and even shelter are unbelievably expensive in Ghazzah right now, and the stranglehold on aid makes these prices go up every day. As the weather changes, Mohammed needs to get clothing and blankets in addition to basic living supplies for his family now while they wait for evacuation to become an option.
You can help by donating to their fundraiser, or purchasing prints, apparel, and other lovely items from their Etsy. I have a shirt on the way and cannot wait to wear it with pride; Yazan and Mohammed are talented and have goals to work in graphic design business. Thank you so much, and please boost and share both on and off tumblr.

just going through the movie again for references and noticing random things
D-16's badge having 6 notches (assuming it showcases excellence, hard work/rank) and Orion only having 1 (troublemaker.) -- which is why D-16 stomps on it out of frustration; it's the symbol of his devotion to Sentinel Prime.
there's a certain point - namely when they reach the cave - where D-16 is clearly at the end of his rope. His first reaction to every single event is anger; which is not wrong!
It's just in sharp contrast to Orion who doesn't hold the same devotion he did, therefore isn't taking events quite as personal as D-16.
Sees dead Megatronus > Angry at whoever did this (assuming Quints at this point)
Alpha Trion declares that Sentinel is a false Prime - Angry and defensive (that's his idol and cybertron's savior)
World View falling apart > Angry at Orion for leading him off protocol that led to these events. Angry at Sentinel who should be executed and paraded for his betrayal.
Even his first instinct is to Fight when the Quints arrive. He's ready to stand up and not take things lying down anymore. He's ready to take charge of things - to set them right.
Unfortunately, to D-16 - that means disregarding what anyone else says too, including Orion who led him previously.
D-16 in the midst of all the unfolding events, finds blame in Orion for leading him to these life-shattering painful truths being unfolded before them.
Which is contradictory to the praise he was giving Orion for leading them to the surface previously when it was seemingly beneficial at the time; it's realistic - but still sad.
As D-16 lets out at Orion how he truly feels - being dragged around by Orion; Orion's first reaction is to reflect. "am i truly at fault?" - and later on after Airachnid attacks the High Guard, he clearly believes what D-16 said as well. That this was all his fault. (Even though it really is Sentinels'. And a friendship is not a one way street.)
When Orion learns about Sentinel's betrayal he's shocked; but his mind immediately goes: How do we stop him? How do we help the people suffering under Sentinel? How do we show others the monster he truly is?
Both D-16 and Orion want justice but prioritize different things. It's about revenge and the righteous killing of a false prophet for D-16. For Optimistic Orion, Sentinel should be exposed, to face his crimes and be judged fairly. The less bloodshed, the better a new age for Cybertron can begin.
Let it not begin in a bloody execution fueled by hatred. Let them not be like Sentinel who took the future of Cybertron forcefully into his own hands through blood. Who brutally ripped Megatronus's cog out from his corpse.
("Don't be like Sentinel.")
Even right after the argument when they get their cogs, the first thing they do is look at each other.
God. They are heartbreaking.
Right after they return from seeing Sentinel collude with the Quintessons.
The line of shadow drawn between D-16 and the rest as he is faced away... A visual way to represent the fracture forming in between them...
I love this movie so much.
Gonna end my ramble here for now - and this is just from the cave - there's SO MANY things to just go on and on about this film.
